Connect to Wireless Network, no internet connection

Hi, I recently installed Backtrack 5 R3 on my Toshiba NB255 laptop.

I can connect to my wireless network with wicd, but theres no internet access. Ping fails to connect and firefox can't connect to any servers either. After doing iwconfig and ifconfig, I can't see anything out of the ordinary, no dropped or erroneous packets according to ifconfig.

When I connect through ethernet to my router, wicd stalls at the ip assignment step.

I've tried starting networking through

Code:

start networking

and

Code:

/etc/init.d/networking start

, but I can't get it to work.

I'm getting good signal, so that isn't it.

Again, I successfully connect to the network, just no internet. Any ideas?

I do not see anything wrong, as a matter of fact, wlan0 has been authenticated and it was offered a valid ip (192.168.0.104), this ip offered came from DHCP server...Link quality is little over 70% (-59dbi is quite good)..

Please, try to do this: Boot up with LiveCD, and try to connect to router..See if it works...

Re: Connect to Wireless Network, no internet connection

When booting from live disk, I started networking with "start networking" and then opened wicd. When I opened it I got an error saying "Could not connect to wicd's D-bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages." After I clicked okay, everything opened normally.
